Ohhhh…something shiny…..

That’s pretty much how I live my life. There are so many unfinished projects around my house. Some days are better than others. Lloyd will know that I’ve had a chaotic day when he comes home and there are clothes folded on the couch, a half-empty diswasher and the TV is still on in the bedroom even though I haven’t been in there all day. I am so easily distracted. I’ll be in the middle of something and suddenly….something shiny…and I abandon what I’m doing for something else.

So, I have decided that I need to get control of my house. By this, I mean that I don’t want to have to freak out cleaning every time somebody is coming over to visit. I also don’t want to be frantically running around the house at 5 o’clock trying to make it look like I’ve done something today. This is a joke because it’s usually the days that I am more busy that my house is more disasterous, so I don’t know what’s going on there. I know that daily maintenance will make it easier – I tend to try to tackle it all at one time and then I get overwhelmed and just give up.

So today…I will shine my sink. Now, this isn’t just any shine…it’s a FlyLady shine. This is not sink shining for sissies…it’s a 12 step process, but once you do it, FlyLady promises you’ll never have to do it again. I’ll keep you posted.

UPDATE:

Now, there’s something shiny! I took a “before” picture too, but it’s just too embarrassing.

What’s more embarrassing is that I’m taking before/after pictures of my sink.
